This looks really good. Feel like something beyond your run of the mill space colony builder. A complex building system in 3D (with both land colonies and space stations) and it also seems to have additional strategic layer.

Reminds of a cross between Planetbase and the old school Moon Tycoon. I think this could give Planetbase 2 a run for its money.


Comments from other communities

Some of the reviews seem to think the game is unfinished or should still be in early access. It looks like it has potential and could be fun. Have you played it?

I saw that too, no I have not played it, but it’s on my wishlist and I will be looking for updates. This is my kind of game.



Your description sounds intriguing, but the game has mixed ratings. Anyone tried it and can share their experience?

It’s like rimworld but implemented in the most janky incomprehensible way possible.

Last I checked you had to manually assign people to bathrooms and each one only took like two or three people. Stuff like that is found in basically every aspect.

Highly recommend taking a look at player videos for gameplay before picking it up. I didn’t get past the learning curve because I figured they would need to simplify many systems, but I wasn’t under the impression that they revamped them much at all between then (past 12 months) and now.


Apparently there’s a demo on steam. I just looked.



Ouch, those user reviewers don’t paint a very pretty picture. Sounds like this could’ve used more time in the oven.
